Damsel fish not eating well

[Yuhikaru]

Hi,

I am pretty much a novice and my tank was setup slightly more than 1 month.

I got a damsel fish and it is doing quite okay alongside with a clownfish and a gamma.

However, the damsel fish seems to be having problem eating the fish food. Unless the fish food is dropped really close to it, it doesn't seem to be able to sense and eat it. At this moment, it doesn't seem to be in any trouble but I am concerned that it continues not to eat properly.

Any advice would be great. Thanks.

What kind of damsel? How do his eyes look? Are the other fish bothering him?

I would say if he's not eating, then God is doing you the favor of trying to rid your tank of damsel fish.

But in all seriousness, I would buy something like frozen brine or mysis shrimp...something that will hang in the water column a little longer which will give him a longer window to locate and eat the food.
